Al Horford’s sister blasts JR Smith for dirty play: ‘F--K YOU JR’

Al Horford's sister, Anna, blasted Smith on Twitter after the Cavs guard shoved Horford while he was mid-air during the fourth quarter of the Celtics' Eastern Conference Finals Game 2 win.

With less than four minutes to go and the Celtics up 97-89, Marcus Smart lofted an alley-oop pass to Horford, who had gotten behind Smith and was open in front of the hoop. Rather than contest the shot, Smith shoved Horford in the back, sending the five-time All-Star flying and landing hard on the court.

Smart, coming to Horford's defense, immediately got into it with Smith, resulting in both players receiving a technical foul. Smith, however, was also given a flagrant 1 due to his dirty play, allowing Horford to shoot two free throws.

Since Smith was given a flagrant 1 and not a flagrant 2, he was not ejected and allowed to remain in the game.

Anna later attributed her outburst to being in the heat of the moment.

"Emotions were clearly running high, lol. Damn, that made me mad," she tweeted.
